f THE ARGUMENTATIVE WOMAN
MODES OF
THE HOUR
WHA T BALANCED RA TION MEANS
Ellen Adair Discusses Her
That the argumentative woman Is
J fteldom or over really liked by her feltow-
creatures la n foregone conclusion. She
seems to stir up strife wherovcr she goes.
Around her Is a curloun atmosphere.
ivhleh can only be vaguely described as
aggressive. Yes, aggressive Is the word
that proves the keynote to the argumenta
tive woman's character.
In the way of ordinary conversation, she
taps out the most ordinary remarks In
n "contrndlct-me-lf-you-dnro" tone. Until
that moment, one had not felt Inclined
to doubt the aforesaid opinions, nor to
dispute them. But when they are literal
ly hurled at one's head, or waved, as It
were, In much the snmo spirit as a red
flag to n bull, one becomes somewhat npt
to ch.iltengo thoso statements. We act
contrariwise and very naturally so.
for the air of finality and conclusiveness
which mark the least of the argumenta
tive woman'B statements arouses the fight
ing spirit within us!
it Is a. great mistake and this mistake
the argumentative woman nlways makes
to swoposo that the tendency to arguo
over everything Is a sign of originality
nnd Independence. As a matter of fact,
the one who never agrees with anybody
elro betrays her Inherent stnallnoss.
Instead of finding the broad principle
whero there can be agreement and
harmony, she seeks for sumo Insignificant
The Story of "the
Hesitation"
Miss Alice Martin, of St. Louis, Is the
gentle foundress of "tho hesitation."
"Foundress" Is literally true In this par
ticular Instance, because it was by an
accident that sho found the hesitation.
"This Is how It happenod," explained
Miss Martin, " wo had been turkey trot
ting In St. Louts all winter, and were
oick and tired of It. I suggested we try
something new to waits time. With my
partner I fell Into a hesitation quite
naturally. Tho other dancers applauded.
In a week the hesitation was the rngo."
There Is nothing particularly romantic
or exciting about this simple statement
of facts. Of course, hundreds of dancers
have Invented now hesitations, but Miss
Murtln is tho pioneer.
The fox trot, the maxlxc, tho lulu fade
the polka Brazllllcnno, tho furlana nnd
nil the other graceful gyrations may
come and go, but there will bo a vote of
thanks to Miss Alice Martin by all the
bank presidents for the favored hesita
tion. Dainty Presents
The penny-wise woman, who Is making
her simpler Christmas presents now, will
be Interested In the novelties shown In
the needlework shops.
Dainty llttlo handkerchief cases, hand
embroidered, and lined In a quaint color,
ary -very expensive to buy while easily

A llttlo spray of flowers or a monogram
completes this.
Those who do hammered brasswork
will see the now book-ends. They are
rather hard to describe, unless you have
seen them, and are decorated with little
bas-relief ornaments, bulldogs, elephants,

and a llttlo bag for powder, lined with

Joy
Bhe came to me one fair spring day.
The skies were bright, the lambs at play;
The daisies lent their pearly sheen
To fields all decked In vernal green.
Fair blossoms clothed each tender shoot,
With promise rich of autumn fruit;
The lark poured forth his song above,
And earth seemed full of hope and love!
I know not whence this vision bright.
Nor whence this rapture of delight.
Her ruby lips are passing sweet.
As for a moment mine they meet.
"'Oh, stay, bright spirit, stay," I cried,
"I want thee ever by my side.
Thy presence sweet would crown eacn
Bhe smiled on me and whispered "Nay."
J felt that something bright had gone
And left my spirit chill and lone,
' I knew 'twas Joy In after years
Her rainbow shone through mist of tears.

ground of difference, and upon that lays
all the emphasis.
This hunting out of the Infinitesimal
trifle Is merely a pose, and a most Irri
tating and unattractive pose, too.
It Is, of course, Impossible to agree with
everybody, and It such were the general
tendency of mankind, the world would
be a dull place. An Interesting and Intel
ligent argument In congenial company Is
a delightful thing. Hut between such
and tho perpetual aggressiveness of the
argumentative woman lies a great gulf.
For the latter Is generally narrow-minded
and obstinate and utterly regardless of
the opinions of others.
I know some women who would rather
die than confess that they are In the
wrong. It Is a positive pain to them to
be beaten In an argument, nnd tnoy win
change their ground a dozen times, re
versing previous statements, even to the
verge of untruthfulness In order to main
tain a semblance of victory.
It Is a very true fact that the argu
mentative woman Is her own worst
enemy. For she Is so unpopular with
both men and women that they soon
grow to shun her, nnd she Is finally left
very much alone.
"Don't ask Mrs. Smith here again,
Mary!" said a husband to his wlfo the
other day. "That woman makes me feel
wild! She contradicts every remark that
Is made by people better Informed than
herself, and she argues over everything
till I Just long to slap her."
t'nfartunateU, there are only too many
women like Mrs. Smith In the world. If
they could but see themselves as others
see them, n speedy reformation would
take place. ELI.KN ADAIRE.

For the Invalid
When preparing food for an Invalid al
ways remember that the quantity muit be
small and the appearance tempting. A
person who Is ill may be put off the meal
altogether If a very largp hclpingis served
So only send up quite a little the first
time, and let tho invalid ask for a second
helping If he has enjoyed It.
Always have covers for the dishes
which are going upstairs to an Invalid's
room. If the plates are left open, the
contents often get quite cold during the
passage from kitchen to bedroom, and,
ns everybody knows, chilled food Is sel
dom tempting.

Women have tho right to practice law
In all the Australian States except New

as advocates In Argentine, as barristers
In France (20 in Paris and five outside
the city). In the Netherlands as qualified
lawyers. In Norway (where one woman Is
a Judge), in Finland. In Switzerland (In
some cantons). They have had the right
In Denmark since 1908. and one joung

Portugal. Women practice In Sweden, If
unmarried, and In some provinces of

"How can you say that my love wasn't

"You don't do anything of the sort!"

"I appreciate this, Evadne," said the

you to bear with me as you have. I

"I'm always delighted to see you," the

why you should run yourself down In this

Range of Fashion Very Wide This
Year Where the Slreet Suit Is Con
cerned An Exhibit of Clothes of
American Design and Manufacture.
As tho season advance It becomes more
nnd more apparent that tho range of
fashion Is very wide Indeed where the
street milt li concerned. Effects that
Would be stnrttlng ngalnet a background
of the commonplaco create little stir,
placed as they arc sldo by sldo with
others of equal originality and Indi
viduality. Next week In New York there Is to be a
fashion exhibit of clothes of American de
sign nnd Amcrlcnn manufacture. It
might be Imagined that tho possibilities
had been ?xhnusted, for n season at leant.
There mny be surprises of a very pleasant
nature, however, and tho Inventiveness
and Ingenuity of tho Amcrlcnn designer
will possibly glo an Impetus to fashion
that will carry it In a direction quite op
posite to the one It Is nt present pursuing.
There Is a lavish wealth of detail In tho
majority of costumes now In vogue, oven
when, nt first glance, the Impression con
veyed Is one of simplicity. The outlines
mny be simple, but a closo Inspection Is
nliuo.it certain to reveal that a great deal
of thiught linn been expended on tho
minor features after the general style has
been established
Tho continue shown today is ono In
point. It lias iindenlable charm and tho
charm of simplicity until one stops to
analyze and Is lost In tho wealth of detail.
Tho skirt Is genuinely simple. It has
as Its only decoration a row of small but
tons covered with tho material, that ex
tends from waist to hem.
Tho coat starts out with a long back
that rcachos almost to tho bottom of tho
skirt- It drops slightly In tho centre and
Is finished with wide scallops that nro
carefully stitched.
The sleeves are set In and the armholo
Is bound with silk braid. The deep cuff
Is also bound with th-j braid and further
ornamented with a row of buttons match
ing thoso of the skirt.
With tho very long back the coat Is cut
extremely short in fiont, short enough
to show a wide draped girdle. Instead of
duplicating the curves of tho back of tho
coat, there are deep Joints In front bound
like the cuffs nnd the armholes with tho
same btnld. The collar stands high at
the back, but vanishes altogether In tho
front.
The hat Is as unusual ns the suit. Ab
though it Is faced with velvet, the crown
and the upper brim are covered with silk.
The sharp point of the wldo flare at ono
side Is balanced by a feather fantasy
that Is permitted to droop over tho brim.
Tho party case or vanity box Is made
of leather, but It resembles a diminutive
bandbox rather more than nnythlng else.
Tho novelty makes It attractive Just of
itself, but above and beyond this It has
the additional merit of exactly matching
the color of tho suit and the hat.
This, on the whole. Is rather a restful
change; for, although the color combina
tions aro usually very happy ones, It Is
possible to glow a little tired of the
kalcldlscoplc display.

By 0. HOUSTON QOUDISS
The practical housekeeper usually re
gards the balanced ration as a new
fangled notion for which she has neither
tlmo nor Inclination. To her it suggests
sundry experiments on "poison squads"
and other devoted volunteers In the causo
of science, little scales for the weighing
of each particle of food and wearlsomo
textbooks full of fussy calculations.
But the balanced ration as applied to
food Is really a very different thing. It
Is not nt nil alarming when once you got
acquainted with It, and a very few experi
ments convince the housewife that nil the
studv she can give to this most Interest
lug subject will not lead her one Inch
nwny from the solid ground of common
sense, To provide the balanced ration, the best
way Is to plan nt ono time tho meals
for the whole day. If It Is possible to
do so, It Is better and really easier to
plan for tho cntlro week. Tho first re
suit of such planning Is economy; the

little of any of tho food elements to keep
them In tho best condition.
It requires very little technical know-ledge
to plan the balanced ration. What
U absolutely Indispensable though, Is a
working knovledgo of the K f
elements upon which depend llfo, health
and power to work.
The first of these Is protein, which is
contained In greatest quantity In lean
meat, cheese, eggs, whole grains, nuts,
beans and lentils. This Is needed to make
blood and muscle and to "new the frame
work of the body. It Is the building
mnterlat without which we should soon
wither away. .iv,
The second grcnt element Is fat. which
is needed to keep the body In good condi
tion nnd to store heat and energy In suf
ficient quantity to serve for Immediate
needs and nlso to maintain a reserve sup
ply. The" chief fat-producing foods fire
butter, fat meat, nut fats and the
vegotablc oils.
Equal In Importance to protein are tho
carbohydrates, which create the heat and
energy that furnish to man the driv
ing power which enables him to do his
work. Wo get the carbohydrates from
Weighing Sticky Things
When ou want to weigh out molasses
syrup, honey, Jnm, soft butter or nny
thlng sticky of that kind, don't put 11
straight Into the scale. If you do so. It
will cling, make the scale in a great
mess and waste itself dreadfully.
The thing to do Is to spread a fairly
thick layer of Hour, crumbs or sifted
sugar whichever you happen to be using
for your pudding or cake on the scale
und then measure your sticky stuff Into
the ccntro of this.
You will find that, when you want to
tilt your syrup or whatever It may be Into
tho pudding basin. It slides off qulto
cleanly, taking a little of the flour with
it and leaving the scale ulmost speck
less. The Irish Servant Girl
The scarcity of servant girls led to a
certain wealthy American lady engaging
n farmer's daughter from a rural district
of Ireland. Her want of familiarity with
town ways and language led to many
amusing scenes. One day a lady called
at the residence and rang the bell. Kath

"Can Mrs. be seen?" asked the
visitor.
"Can sho be seen?" sniggered Kath

For dinner the meat which forms tho
main dish should regulate the entire
meal. With fish, veal or fowl, somo high
ly nutritious soup, such as cream of as
paragus, carrot, corn, celery or1 cauli
flower I, served. But with the heavier
meats, like beef, mutton or pork, n clear
soup would balance belter. Only ono
stnrchy vegetable should be served nt n.
meal. That Is, If sweet or white potatoes
arc on the table, there Is no need of rice,
hominy, parsnips, macaroni or eggplant.
Instead, ono of the watery vegetables
should be served, such ns cabbage, onions,
tomatoes, splnuch, cauliflower, carrots,
asparagus, beets or celery.
The salad should be governed by the
same rulo that orders tho seloctlon of the
soup, for the same meats that permit a
thick soup will also demand one of the
heartier salads that ore Borvod with
mayonnaise. The heavier meats natural
ly call for a lighter salad with plain
French dressing.
The same rulo applies to the dessert.
Icei, gelatines and fresh fruits being
chosen to finish the more nutritious meal,
while shortcakes, tapioca, ipastry, light
steamed puddings nnd tho like give tho
finishing touch to tho menu which centres
around ono of the lighter meats.
With these main principles In mind, It
Is an easy matter to supply the balanced
ration. Once given n clear understanding
of tho effect of different foods upon tho
body, the housewife's first duty nnd
grcntest Interest will lie In the c"1clont
planning thnt assures to tho faml.j Just
the right proportion of each one.

The Ways of Love
Love has wings and ho can use them.
To compel him to stay with us Is but to
cage him. nnd, like the caged bird, he
droops and frets.
It Is lmposlblc to force feeling; If one
makes the attempt, nil thnt results Is hut
affectation and hypocrisy, ending in dis
gust nnd weariness.
No ono wns ever yet rendered loving or
tender by having love or tenderness de
manded of him. And the same applies to
the other sec nlso.
The only compulsion that can be snfelv
exertPd l" thnt of Indirect methods the
trust nnd the tnet of true effectlon thnt
gives Its all nnd dreams not of exacting
return. ,
To have a return Is reward Indeed, nut
love flnds Its reward In Itself. The morn
it loves, the less It Is npt to nsk of the
beloved. To bo nllowed to ndoro Is for tno
true worshipper enough.
We can be shnmed by unselfishness nnd
devotion Into giving a return, but we cnu
never be forced by words or by dcmnnrls
Into anything of the sort. Even tears are
powerless: only love can win love
Wise Sayings
An onen confession may bo good for
the soul, but It's bad for the reputation
A gentle voice is an excellent thing, but
It doesn't get you anywhere.
A soft answer turneth away wrath.
And besides. It makes tho othor fellow
all the madder.
It Isn't safo nowadnys to tell a girl
you lovo every hair on her head. You may
be accused of divided affections.
